And most subscription games require a monthly payment of $10-15. My god, that’s even more costly than paying for a lifespan! Gasp.

They’ve got a custom world and story engine to do that for them! NPC personalities are based off of varying levels of OCEAN (Openness to experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism) and the state of the world around them. The Soulborn Engine has been developed on and off by the CEO Jeromy…

Your body might die, but your soul still lives on. Think of you as playing the soul rather than the avatar. What skills were reset will be learned much quicker in your next life, allowing you to reach the point of progress you’d left off at when you’d died and furthering your skills past that point.
